day one wrap-up
Feb 11th, 2006 by Ginger
Well, day one was not quite as successful as I had hoped. According to The Plan here is where I am:
Feb 10 - Opening Ceremonies - 40 rows - 26 rows (-14)
In my defense I was at the Northwest Flower & Garden Show all day and was not able to cast on until after 7:30p. I do know this was poor scheduling, but it was the only day Mom and I could go together while Hubby watched the kids. I shall strive to complete yesterdays rows and todays so that I will not be trying to overcome the shortage later when the rows will take much longer to finish.
I did have a good time at the garden show. Mom and I took the bus to avoid trying to find parking down town. We did quite a bit of browsing, some shopping and more shopping. The deal of the day, for me, was a new knitting bag. It’s a large bag, and I mean large, this will hold a big project,  with sturdy sides so it stands up on it’s own and it’s lined with a drawsting closure, I paid $10 for it, such a deal.
I also bought a pair of garden shoes, crocs beach in fuschia. Very bright, so I won’t loose them if I kick them off in the yard; washable, so I can just hose them off after being in the garden or coop; and they are comfy too, they are unisex sizes so they are wider the average women’s shoes and they fit really will.
hmmmm, what else did I bring home with me? Some fireweed honey (yummy), a ton of catalogs, I signed up for some estamates for a new roof and windows since we are in the middle of a re-fi to make some improvements to the house. Oh, I also picked up a shea butter solid lotion bar and a small tin of Honey Balm with bees wax and shea butter, it smells very lightly of honey and is perfect to tuck into the knitting bag.
I have a Stitch and Bitch to be at in a little over and hour, I better get moving.
Starting off the day with an SnB sounds like a great way to catch up!! I’ve been admiring those Crocs - they look wide enough for my feet…
Oh don’t despair, you’ll catch up in no time! That new knitting bag sounds fab-where are the pics? Sounds like a great bargain. I’m back to knitting!
I’m considering last night just a teaser of things to come. And really - it’s only a half day. At least that’s what I keep telling myself . . .
Just stopping by to cheer you on in the Olympics. Not sure what team you ended on of the many on your list–I love the Team What The Hell Was I Thinking best!
So I’ll just say, Go Ginger! =)
(waves pom-poms in the air) goooooo…..Ginger!
